MULTIPLE PACKS

As pharmacists we must always comply explicitly with your doctors prescribed directions this includes the quantity of the prescription goods to be supplied. Therefore the only time we can supply an increased quantity of a prescribed medicine is if the doctor prescribes that quantity for you.

AUTHORITY PRESCRIPTION

Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.
Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health.
Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).
Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.
But still pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has the necessary Authority code.

Information

General Information

What Aurorix is used forThe name of your medicine is Aurorix. It contains the active ingredient called moclobemide.

Aurorix belongs to a group of medicines called antidepressants. Antidepressants are used to treat depression and work on the central nervous system. They are thought to work by their action on brain chemicals called amines, which are involved in controlling mood.

There are many different types of medicines used to treat depression. Aurorix belongs to a group of medicines called reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase A (RIMA).

Your doctor, however, may have prescribed Aurorix for another purpose. Ask your doctor if you have any questions why Aurorix has been prescribed for you.

This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription.

Before you take Aurorix

Do not take Aurorix if:

* you have ever had an allergic reaction to Aurorix or any of the ingredients listed in the Ingredients section of this leaflet

* you are suffering from severe confusion

* you are taking clomipramine (Anafranil) or selegiline (Eldepryl)

* Taking Aurorix with the above medicines may cause a serious reaction called serotonin syndrome. This can cause a sudden increase in body temperature, high blood pressure and convulsions.

Do not take Aurorix after the expiry date (EXP) printed on the pack.

It may have no effect at all or, worse, an entirely unexpected effect if you take it after the expiry date.

Do not take Aurorix if the packaging is torn or shows signs of tampering or if the tablets appear damaged in some way.

If you are not sure if you should be taking Aurorix, talk to your doctor.

You must tell your doctor if:

1. you are allergic to any other medicines, foods, dyes or preservatives

2. you have any other health problems including:

* liver disease

* high blood pressure

* mental illness other than depression

* thyrotoxicosis (a condition of excessive thyroid hormones)

* phaeochromocytoma (a rare tumour of adrenal gland)

3. you are pregnant or intend to become pregnant

4. you are breastfeeding or wish to breastfeed

Your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of using Aurorix when pregnant and while breastfeeding.

Taking other medicines

Tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines including any that you have bought from a pharmacy, supermarket or healthfood shop.

Some commonly used medicines that may interfere with Aurorix are

* cimetidine (Tagamet)

* dextromethorphan

* pethidine

* serotonin agonists (eg buspirone, sumatriptan)

Other antidepressant medicines may interfere with Aurorix such as fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, amitryptyline and nortriptyline.

Moclobemide may cause an additional drop in blood pressure if you are taking metoprolol.

Your doctor or pharmacist has a complete list of medicines to avoid while taking Aurorix.

If you have not told your doctor about any of the above, tell them before you start taking Aurorix.

How to take AurorixUse Aurorix exactly as your doctor has prescribed.

How much to take

Your doctor will tell you how many Aurorix tablets to take each day.

The usual dose is between 300 mg and 600 mg per day. The tablets are taken twice daily after meals.

How to take it

Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.

You should follow your doctor's instructions carefully if changing from one antidepressant to another and report any unexpected effects if they occur.

When to take it

Aurorix should be taken morning and evening at the end of your meal.

How long to take Aurorix

For depression, the length of treatment will depend on how quickly your symptoms improve. Most antidepressants take time to work so don't be discouraged if you don't feel better right away. Some of your symptoms may improve in 1 or 2 weeks but it can take up to 4 or 6 weeks to feel any real improvement. Even when you feel well, you will usually have to take Auror
